The archival version of the digital resource is preserved in a lossless, non-proprietary format, whenever possible.
SWC is a widely-used non-proprietary format; look here http://research.mssm.edu/cnic/swc.html and here http://diademchallenge.org/faq.html.html
The road map engine described in this report demonstrates the sufficiency of the first 3-stars in (Berners-Lee, 2007) (availability on the web under an open license, machine readability and non-proprietary format) as a minimal foundation, on which the community of users of the data may freely build the remaining elements (RDF representations, and linking annotations of that RDF).
The non-proprietary format of Class2Go means that course assets – videos, reading assignments, slides, tests, etc. – belong to the professor, not to the platform.
Thus, availability on the web under an open license, machine readability and use of non-proprietary formats form the core exposure requirements for public big data resources.
*** non-proprietary formats.
More recently, discussions on the eGov W3C mailing list [43] refer to Tim Berners-Lee's "five star" model for government data: * on the web, open license ** machine-readable data *** non-proprietary formats **** RDF standards ***** Linked RDF.
So there you have it, Part 1 and all of my data is now stored online in non-proprietary formats – ODF, MP3, HTML, XML etc either in the Google or Amazon cloud(s) but more importantly I am set free from the desktop.
The choice of an open, non-proprietary, data format and compatibility of the standard with legacy technological solutions prove to be critical for the implementation of standardised E-TCs.
